Episode 12: Sabrina Frederick's Hacks

This week we see the return of sport to our screens with the NRL starting up again, which makes it perfect timing to speak to Katie Brown. Katie is a respected sports journalist and now works as a reporter for NRL.com. She's had her character and resilience tested through her career, but one of the things she's most proud of is sharing the stories of the NRLW girls. She also takes us through what it's like to be a journo during COVID-19 without any sport to report on.

This week on Girls & Glory, Richmond forward Sabrina Frederick joins us again to share her tips and tricks to performing at the elite level. 

If you're enjoying the podcast so far, I'd love it if you can leave a review or recommend it to a friend. I've loved seeing your feedback over the last couple of months so keep it coming!

This special episode was actually requested by you guys! When I asked who you wanted to hear from, a number of you mentioned nurses and doctors who are working during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, I have a team mate who ticks all the boxes.

Laura Harris is not only a destructive batter for the Brisbane Heat, but she also works on the front line in our healthcare system. Laura is a nurse in the emergency department and has worked in the hospital's coronavirus clinic over the last couple of months. She gives us an insight as to how our healthcare workers are holding up during this pandemic, and her outlook on the whole situation. She also tells us about what it's like to juggle shift work and playing at the elite level (and this is something I've always been in awe of). 

I really hope you enjoy this one. Please send some love to Laura and any other healthcare workers you know - we are all so grateful for what they're doing to keep us safe.
